The only place I really hear top 40 "pop music" is at the gym. I think they have Satellite radio. I guess because kids are present, they play the radio edits, rather than the album cuts, of songs with Bad Words in them.

The thing I think is funny is, if you blank out a word in the MIDDLE of a line, I don't generally notice it's missing, but if you CHANGE the word at the end of a line, it makes it way more noticable that you're trying to hide a naughty word.

The biggest offender (which I've heard like 3 times this month) by Kanye West:

Hmm, what rhymes with "Digger"?! I have no idea. Figure? Ligature? Ziggurat? What COULD it be?

Furthermore, I think from now on I'll say "I can't afford to go, I'm broke, broke unh", rather than the much less informative "I can't afford to go, I'm broke".

I dunno that a silence after the first "broke" would have been any better, but even my white gal self knows that theres no such noun as a "broke, broke unh". Maybe it would make more sense to release a single from the album that doesn't have censorable words in the chorus, but that's probably just me.

Hmm, I wouldn't date a chigger.

I don't know about this "lizard host": in the deep south, they attack people, dogs, whatever. I think I got bitten by some once.

Goldigger or not, I think not wanting to date a creature that burrows under your skin and makes you itch is a wise policy. Perhaps Kanye is reminding us to wear long pants and socks to protect our ankles when hiking in infested outdoor areas.
